Yeast normally lives on the scalp and other hairy areas of the body, but the problem arises when there’s too much yeast present.
• Tinea Capitis This is a kind of fungal infection commonly known as ringworm, which can infect the head scalp skin.Tinea capitis extends deep into the hair follicle, causing round patches of hair loss that increase in size over time. The rash may appear raised and with black dots or a stubbly appearance.
• Allergic Reaction Allergic reactions will generally go away on their own if you can identify and avoid the chemical to which you are allergic. This is challenging and specialized tests in a dermatologist’s office may be needed to sort out which chemical is causing the allergy.
